Heard and interesting talk about AI being described through the metaphor of Molock. If you really entertain the thought experiment, is is interesting to see the world race for power, control of its tech.
Politician always point elsewhere, and change the focus. Why folks fall for the shallow reasoning I will never understand. Calibrate on behaviour, not words.
Obsidian.md for the win. I used to use evernote way back when they started, was cool software, then they started scaling and added worst search UI I have ever come across. That day, I deleted my account and went markdown with my own storage.
Don't see the benefit of why your notes should be controlled by others.
I use Obsidian for quite a few things, but I view Obsidian and Evernote as different apps functionally.
I can't email notes into Obsidian. Obsidian doesn't have a web clipper, note reminders, markup tools. I mean sure, I could cover some of that with plug-ins, but at a certain point things become inconvenient.
For text-only notes Obsidian is great. For web clips, emailing notes in, multimedia, I just find EN much easier than trying to jam everything into a text editor.

I don’t care about any of those features. I care about capturing and organizing ideas that are almost always text.
It’s cool you like EN but I think that market is much smaller and EN was just reaching for super edge cases to please a few users and trying to get “regular” users to pay as well.
Tried it. Forcing multimedia into a text editor doesn't always work the best.
I do use Obsidian for text notes that are of my own making, but for pulling in media and other file types, I find a tool like EN so much easier to use.
Open source is not a cure-all you know. I prefer to pay for quality software than spend countless hours trying to compile a thing someone abandoned years ago.
Yeah, ^ this is what convinced me to switch to it. It just produces reasonable, compliant markdown files, and displays them. Most markdown-folder apps handle its output just fine, it's just a better experience.
I like open source a lot, but for my data I much prefer interoperable. I've watched too many projects and companies die and take my stuff with them.
The notes are all in markdown stored on your disk. IMO that is more important than the app source code being open. I can easily take my data and write another app.
logseq is open source, but you gotta pay for (e2ee) sync. Joplin is open source and you can do e2ee with a joplin server or s3 backed. I didn't care for Obsidian. logseq for me.
Paying for sync is absolutely fine as long as the client is open source. Thanks for the logseq recommendation, it looks very good from the first sight! I only wish they had NeoVim plugin like Obsidian has.
Agreed, I pay for logseq sync. Down below someone mentioned doing it with sync thing, but paying is easier for me, and supports development to boot. There is a logseq plugin for vi-like keybindings, but predictably, it's just meh. Hope you enjoy logseq, it's amazing.
I have never used this, but for NeoVim it looks like you might be able to use this (or hack on it a bit to make it work with LogSeq a bit better) https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman
I mostly use Google Keep, which works pretty well. Though the "clippings" feature saving Web articles is pretty cool and doesn't have much of an analogue with that product.
Google keep us awesome! Very underrated. I use logseq most of the time but keep when I'm on mobile and I'll sync them later. There are scripts to hello transfer but doing it manually is pretty easy.
But on it's own keep gives me everything I need, except for the local markdown file database.
Have you ever met someone who recently had a severe stroke or suffers dementia?
Their sense of self can be completely lost by such trauma.
Sure they still have identity in the memories of others. But I'd say one must distinguish identity from Self.
I just skimmed the video. It seems full of information, but this video skips. It seems like either the author composed his sentences by slicing together various clips, or a few frames have been removed between some words. I tried opening the video in NewPipe as well, same problem.
I believe this is a stylistic, 'production values' choice. It used to bother me to the same degree that it seems to bother you. I suspect the content creators that do it are clipping out things like "umm" and "uhh". It might also be that some creators are better at this kind of splicing than others, which might explain why this particular example did not bother me so much.
Yet, we all use their services, willingly or not. Need a class action and rigorous approach this problem. Else, this reinforcing loop will just continue
